Starting with the very first UK chart, 14th November 1952, we continue with the chart of each year, during the 1950’s, 1960’s and now up to 1992 on or around, the anniversary of the first. Strange and wonderful music is played, genre’s change frequently, songs duplicated even more frequently. More Shows Coming Soon in this series.
